Third-ranked Florida State (44-9, 22-6) got its first win in Atlanta since 2003 and tied the school record for the most ACC wins in school history as the Seminoles defeated Georgia Tech (31-21, 15-12) 17-2 Thursday night at Russ Chandler Stadium. FSU pounded out 15 hits and scored nine runs on two outs as the Seminoles snapped their eight game losing streak to the Yellow Jackets in game one of a three-game set. Jason Stidham registered four hits for the second time this season and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle as the freshman third baseman went 4-for-5 with a home run, double and two singles.
The 15-run win on Thursday night was the largest margin of victory over the Yellow Jackets since Florida State posted a 19-0 shut out back on April 28, 1985 in Atlanta.
"It was good win for us," said head coach Mike Martin. "Bryan Henry pitched obviously exceptional baseball. We know that Georgia Tech is just like Clemson in that they can come in a wear us out the next two games, so we have got to be ready to go to work."
